Method #1: Article Marketing

If you have a knack for writing, you can get the word out through article marketing. In simple terms, this involves coming up with informative text to catch your target market's attention.

These are the customers that are most likely to need or want your products and services.

The key element to a successful article marketing campaign is information. When writing articles, you should come up with something that people will find useful.

Give out tips, hints, insider secrets and how-to guides among others. Instead of a chance encounter for your website, articles lead potential customers straight to it.

Articles may be written on a blog that is part of the business' website. Alternatively, blogs may be set up as independent sites with links to the business' website. An article should always include a link to your own site otherwise the whole exercise is pointless.

The best advantage offered by article marketing is that it drives qualified traffic to your site. More often than not, this leads to better conversion rates where people have a better chance of becoming a paying customer. It does not matter if you are running an

eCommerce site or just a plain one. This method will work as effectively either way.

Method #2: Pay-Per-Click Advertising

Getting noticed and publishing ads are intimately related. It is no surprised that turning to advertising gets your site more visitors. One of way of doing this is through pay-per-click advertising or PPC. This means ads are paid every time someone clicks on them.

PPC advertising is a cost-effective measure since it only requires you to spend money on a campaign which produces good results. So you get the word out and only pay if it works. It is as simple as that. Fees vary widely and depend on the agreement you make with your affiliates.

Ads appear on search engines and appear in one of two ways. First, sponsored matching allows ads to become visible to people who searched related terms. Second, ads may be displayed on other sites that receive a high volume of traffic. Be careful with which sites to publish though. You want an affiliate who can deliver and keeps a good online reputation.

Some of the best PPC providers include Google with its Google AdWords platform. It allows you to tap into the largest and most commonly used search engine in the world. Not to be outdone is Yahoo Search Marketing.
